120.开头：1. The author recommends that all colleges and universities adopt honor code like that of the Groveton College (GC) so that cheating problems can be reduced.2. Her conclusion is mainly based on the reported reduction in cheating cases in the past five years from GC.3. However, before she can legitimately propose her suggestion, she should first address several crucial questions.正文：第一段：老师和学生的报告-GC的HC成功1. To begin with, the author mentions that five years ago, teachers of GC reported an average of 30 cases of cheating per year while after honor is adopted, only 14 cases of cheating were reported by students five years later.

Thus, it is very likely that the number of cheating in recent years is largely an underestimation. Second, are there any other causes that may lead to the reduction of cheating cases? Perhaps the total enrollment of GC has significantly reduced. For instance, if there were 1000 students overall five years ago and only 100 students nowadays, then the likelihood of cheating for each individual student has vastly increased rather than decreased.

Any of the aforementioned possibilities would equally lead to the presented data.3. Thus, the author needs to provide more concrete evidence. First, she should resort to the same authority to compare the number of cheating cases in the past years. Second, she should provide information regarding the change
